AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
330 PM EST TUE FEB 23 2016

LATEST UPDATE...
SYNOPSIS/SHORT TERM/LONG TERM/MARINE

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 330 PM EST TUE FEB 23 2016

HEAVY WET SNOW WILL CAUSE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS OVER MUCH OF LOWER
MICHIGAN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. SIX TO TEN
INCHES OF ACCUMULATION COMBINED WITH STRONG NORTH WINDS WILL
RESULT IN TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS... CANCELLATIONS... AND SCATTERED
POWER OUTAGES.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 330 PM EST TUE FEB 23 2016

WILL CONVERT THE CURRENT WINTER STORM WATCH TO A WARNING EXACTLY AS
IS SPATIALLY... ALTHOUGH WILL START AND END IT A TAD EARLIER THAN
WHAT THE ORIGINAL WATCH HAD.

WILL ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR 2 TO 5 INCHES FOR THE
COUNTIES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE WATCH... WHICH WILL START A LITTLE
LATER THAN THE WARNING. SEE BOTTOM OF THIS PRODUCT FOR SPECIFIC
DETAILS.

CONFIDENCE IN WARNING CRITERIA SNOWFALL AND A HIGH IMPACT EVENT
CONTINUES TO INCREASE AS MODEL/ENSEMBLE MEMBERS ARE IN OUTSTANDING
AGREEMENT ON PLACEMENT OF SWATH OF HVY WET SNOW. HOWEVER LATEST 12Z
GUIDANCE HAS TRENDED A BIT FARTHER NORTH AND WEST THAN PREVIOUS RUN
AND IF THIS TREND CONTINUES WE MAY NEED TO EXPAND THE WARNING
A BIT FARTHER WEST.

A FARTHER NORTHWEST TRACK OF THE SYSTEM... WHICH IS A TYPICAL
BEHAVIOR FOR EJECTING SRN STREAM SYSTEMS... COULD ALSO BRING MORE IN
THE WAY OF MIXED PRECIP TO AREAS SOUTH AND EAST OF A BTL TO LAN
LINE AND THEREFORE LESS SNOW ACCUMULATION.

WILL GO WITH COLDER SFC TEMPS ON WEDNESDAY MORE IN LINE RAW MODEL
GUIDANCE RATHER THAN SOME OF MILDER MOS GUIDANCE NEAR 40. HEAVIER
PRECIP SPREADING IN FROM THE SOUTH WILL RESULT IN WET BULBING/EVAP
COOLING WHICH SHOULD LEAD TO PREDOMINATELY SNOW. HOWEVER THE I-94
CORRIDOR EAST OF EAST COULD MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO RAIN/FREEZING
RAIN/SLEET FOR A TIME.

STORM TOTAL AMOUNTS SHOULD BE HELD DOWN A BIT DUE TO SFC TEMPS
INITIALLY ABOVE FREEZING AND LOW SNOWFALL RATIOS AROUND 8:1...AS
WELL COMPACTION OF WET SNOW... BUT HEAVY PRECIP RATES/QPF WITHIN THE
TROWAL WILL STILL LEAD TO MORE THAN SIX INCHES.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 PM EST TUE FEB 23 2016

THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FCST WILL BE SOMEWHAT OF A ROLLER
COASTER RIDE FOR THE REGION FROM THE FRI THROUGH NEXT TUE TIME
FRAME. THIS PATTERN IS VERY TYPICAL OF THE TRANSITION WE SEE AS WE
HEAD FROM WINTER TO SPRING.

WE WILL SEE SOME RESIDUAL LAKE EFFECT HOLD ON ACROSS THE AREA DURING
THE DAY ON FRI. WE WILL BE ON THE BACK END OF THE COOLER AIR AS THE
CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT TRANSITIONS TO MORE RIDGING. THIS AIR DOES NOT
LOOK TOO COLD. SFC RIDGING WILL THEN END THE LAKE EFFECT AS WILL
WARMER AIR ADVECTING IN OVER THE AREA.

THERE LOOKS TO BE A FAIRLY QUIET PERIOD FROM LATE FRI INTO EARLY SUN
WITH WARMER AIR MAKING IT/S WAY INTO THE AREA. A FAIRLY BROAD RIDGE
ALOFT WILL BE IN CONTROL OF THE WEATHER DURING THIS TIME FRAME. WE
WILL SEE A FAIRLY SOLID LOW LEVEL FLOW FROM THE SOUTH TO WEST...
WHICH WILL BRING H850 TEMPS ABOVE 0C. THIS SHOULD BRING MAX TEMPS
BACK WELL INTO THE 40S AND APPROACHING 50.

THE WEATHER WILL BECOME UNSETTLED THEN BEGINNING AGAIN LATER ON
SUN.WE WILL SEE NRN STREAM AND SRN STREAM ENERGY BY SUN...WHICH WILL
THEN APPROACH THE STATE ON SUN. THE WARMTH AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM
SHOULD ALLOW FOR AT LEAST A RAIN AND SNOW MIX...IF NOT ENTIRELY RAIN
INITIALLY. WE WILL THEN SEE THE COLD AIR RUSH IN ACROSS THE AREA SUN
NIGHT BEHIND THE SYSTEM...BRINGING SOME SNOW IN ON THE BACKSIDE OF
IT. SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE.

THERE IS POTENTIAL SHOWING UP THAT WE COULD SEE YET ANOTHER
IMPACTFUL SYSTEM SHOW UP LATE IN THE LONG TERM THAT COULD BRING A
VARIETY OF PCPN TYPES. A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARDS TO TIMING
AND TRACK OF THAT THIS FAR OUT IN TIME WITH THE PATTERN WE ARE IN.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1259 PM EST TUE FEB 23 2016

HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 00Z...GOOD CONFIDENCE FOR
VFR THROUGH 06Z. AFTERWARDS...PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE
AREA FROM THE SOUTHEAST WEDNESDAY MORNING...AFFECTING THE
JXN/BTL/LAN TERMINALS FIRST AROUND 12Z WITH A RAIN/SNOW MIX. LIGHT
SNOW SHOULD BE THE PREDOMINANT PRECIPITATION TYPE FARTHER NORTHWEST
AT THE GRR/MKG TERMINALS PRIOR TO 18Z.

IFR CIGS AND VISIBILITIES EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD ALL TERMINALS LATE
WEDNESDAY MORNING INTO AFTERNOON.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 330 PM EST TUE FEB 23 2016

WE WILL BE UPGRADING THE GALE WATCH TO A WARNING FOR THE ENTIRE
NEARSHORE FOR THE TIME FRAME OF THIS SYSTEM. WE ARE LOOKING AT 40+
KNOT GALES FROM WED MORNING RIGHT ON THROUGH THE DAY ON THU.  WE
SHOULD THEN SEE A BREAK IN THE STRONGER WINDS ON FRI BEFORE THE
WINDS COME UP ONCE AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 905 AM EST TUE FEB 23 2016

DUE TO SNOWMELT THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS AND POSSIBLY LINGERING
RIVER ICE... THE MUSKEGON... WHITE... AND PERE MARQUETTE RIVERS
ARE RUNNING HIGHER THAN NORMAL BUT ARE BELOW BANKFULL. PERE
MARQUETTE RIVER IS THE ONLY ONE STILL TRENDING UPWARD BUT FLOODING
IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. WITH WAVES OF COLDER TEMPERATURES
OVER THE NEXT WEEK... RIVER ICE COULD REDEVELOP ON MOST RIVERS
ONCE AGAIN... BUT THE THREAT FOR SIGNIFICANT ICE JAM FLOODING THIS
LATE IN THE SEASON APPEARS LOW.
